Help to protect a local wildlife sanctuary from development

30th September 2024

For the third time in 10 years, developers are attempting to build 14 houses on the greenfield land at Smock Alley and Haglands Lane in West Chiltington.

If concreted over, two fields which have re-wilded over many decades will be lost. These fields have become important for local wildlife of insects, birds, bats, badgers, foxes and deer. Dormice are also believed to be present.

This site has already been rejected three times by Horsham District Council and twice at Appeal by Government Inspectors but the decision against the development is going to appeal again. The deadline for representations is 10 October so the local community needs your support now.
